A World Trade War!! That’s just what we all need!! WTWWP!!
Make The Whole World Poorer!!
Slow down trade! Stiff your friends! Make everything more expensive!
Countries look for alternative markets and friendlier people! Who needs friends like this?
For more simplistic solutions to complex problems just ask the corrupt!!
Meanwhile, the most corrupt President in history is raking it in. They’ve been pulling in $40 million for Melania’s documentary, scamming the MAGA cult for merchandise – $80 million so far, $10 million from Musk, millions from ‘meme coin’ and a range of other scams including bibles!
He doubling his wealth by making poor Americans poorer.
How on earth does someone who has a long history of failed businesses and bankruptcies retain any credibility as a businessman? The long list of failures is discussed in the Quora article below.
How does Trump manage to get anybody to work for him with the long record of deliberately not paying people? He employs people, knocks up millions in fees and then refuses to pay. Whether that’s hiring venues or contracts for various things or hiring solicitors he has a long history of failing to pay the people he hires. The wonder is that others are keen to jump into the breach. The other wonder is that he gets away with it. He owes millions to creditors and simply brushes it off. So many people have had their firms destroyed, their careers destroyed, have ended up in huge debts and even prison, while Trump sails on.
One day the bubble will burst and people will realise what a conman he really is.
Now we have him applying his simplistic business procedures to apply tariffs and take on Mexico, Canada and the EU. He’s a moron. A trade war is a disaster for all concerned. The ones who will pay when all the prices go up are the very ones that voted for him.
Trump will damage the whole stability of world trade and that instability will have huge shockwaves.
Last time he added trillions to the US debt. This time he’s going to make all of us, all over the world, a lot poorer.
He’ll walk out of it one hell of a lot richer – just like Boris Johnson!!
And women actually vote for this misogynist! Sometimes you think that some women don’t deserve rights at all. These rights were fought for and now they are being tossed away!
Women – think of the sacrifices your predecessors made to gain these rights! Don’t let Trump and the Right-Wing Evangelists take them away from you! Fight! Fight! Fight!
It is obvious that Trump is a self-serving narcissist who loves the attention, the adulation, the limelight, power and wealth.
That he is charismatic is not in doubt. He holds his cult in thrall. That is why he is able to get away with murder. Despite his complete lack of morals – his obscene philandering, the rape, sexual abuse and links with paedophile rings, Epstein (who was a close friend) and Diddy; despite his tax evasions, cheating business deals, dodgy interactions with the mafia and foreign despots like Putin; support for extreme white supremacy groups like the Proud Boys; despite being a convicted felon and inciting an insurrection fueled by absurd conspiracy theories; and continuously spouting a stream of lies while, at the same time, shrieking fake news – this criminal conman receives complete, unshakable, adulation. It’s beyond comprehension.
How does he get away with it?
Well, it seems to me that he has concocted a narrative that appeals to the ill-informed, ignorant and unintelligent.
He lies that he has been good for the economy and business. The opposite was true but people have short memories. He promises the earth and delivers fuck all. (He added trillions to the national debt and millions were laid off).
He promises to resurrect all the old polluting technologies – fracking, oil, gas, steel – and give the poor their old jobs back (as if that could ever happen – those old industries are dead as dodos.)
To support his stance on resurrecting outmoded industry he has promoted conspiracy theories, pooh-poohed climate change, and stated that he will withdraw from all international agreements on climate. The man is a selfish pragmatist who only cares about getting elected.
He has undermined all experts, spread fake news, supported conspiracy and endorsed QAnon in order to gain political advantage. Extreme white supremacists and Nazi groups have been empowered (you wouldn’t have thought that we fought a world war to remove the likes of this evil scum). Everything is fake news or disinformation. You can’t trust experts, the mainstream media or the democrats (who are the enemy within). He and Fox News are the only sources of truth!! He will seek vengeance on all who disagree – he is OK with swamps, alien lizards, baby sacrifice in satanic paedophile rings , totalitarian tyranny and the CIA being behind the twin towers. If it gets him elected then the holocaust didn’t happen, the moon wasn’t landed on and the Earth is flat.
He wants to be seen as a strong man which is why he identifies with Hitler, Putin, Xi and Kim Jong-Un. He wants to be a despot too! Fools like strong men and have little understanding of history.
Despite his lack of faith and extremely unscrupulous, immoral behaviour, he has promised the right-wing religious groups exactly what they wanted – a land of misogyny, reduced female rights and macho male power. He panders to the ‘we will not be replaced’ movement by trying to turn women into baby-making machines (remove abortion and contraception, bring back ‘family values’ and get them out of the workplace) Women should know their place – in the kitchen, in the bedroom and not in work. He’d take away their vote if he could (they tend to vote democrat anyway). But the right-wing evangelists love him. They have wet dreams of publicly executing feminists and the sexually active.
He purports to support the constitution (when convenient – not too hot on the transfer of power or democracy) – and so wants to arm primary school kids to keep them safe. The NRA are huge fans.
He scapegoats immigrants and Muslims (immigrants currently take centre stage in the absence of terrorist outrage). There is, due to political extremism, war, climate change and economic hardship, a huge mass migration. Poor people are desperate to escape from gangs, violence, droughts, floods, starvation and lack of opportunities. These desperate migrants are represented as rapists, drug dealers, murderers, pet eaters and scroungers. They are coming to take your jobs and undermine society! Instead of promoting a fairer world, stopping wars and dealing with injustice, climate change and political extremism he proposes a wall and mass expulsion. Who cares about ordinary people? Who cares about death or torture! Kick the bastards out! Human rights is for namby-pambys.
In order to stimulate the economy he wants to produce small government (who needs schools, health care or infrastructure? – Education makes people think and then they see through the lies. What use is a worker if they’re old or ill? – Let them die. Only the wealthy are worthy). He wants to give all those billions in tax cuts (the poor receive a small pittance and the wealthy claw in yet more millions). A policy that added trillions to the national debt when he was in office but spawned billionaires. The rich had never had it better.
He claims to be one with the blue collar workers – despite being a billionaire, living a highly advantaged lifestyle with all the trappings of extreme wealth and a trophy wife to go with it. He milks the poor for every penny he can squeeze or con out of them. For some reason they think he understands them and supports them. They don’t get it – he is exploiting them – sucking them dry until they are husks.
Trump is the charismatic magician who has convinced an army of disenfranchised, discontented, displaced, ignorant, uneducated workers, that he actually represents them!
It’s the biggest con-trick of the century, the biggest snake-oil franchise of all time!
Yet Trump is not really the main force. He is the front of house. Behind him lies the real power.
Trump is in it for himself. Yet, his power and wealth is small-fry compared to the shady dealers behind the scenes. The real power resides with the wealthy moguls, the billionaires and CEOs who stand to gain most; the unscrupulous, uncaring elite who stand to profit enormously; the religious fanatics who can push through their stone-age misogyny and callous, egocentric bastards and profiteers like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. They own the media and make or break the likes of Trump.
If you look closely when Trump is performing you can see the strings!
The man who brought us the sunlit uplands of Brexit (currently costing us £100 billion a year!), the multibillion VIP Lane give-away to Tory Donors, the glorious Covid track and trace that employed the likes of Tory Dildo Harding on massive salaries, the take-over of the BBC, the mountains of useless PPE, wonderful Russian Lords, a border with Northern Ireland, motorways that become lorry parks, queues, tariffs and border controls, restricted my freedom of movement, sunk numerous flourishing businesses, oven-ready lies (made to order straight off the cuff), austerity for the plebs, destruction of public services, devastation of local councils, shutting of libraries, youth clubs and addiction centres, a plethora of freebies (crates of £300 a bottle wine, wallpaper. holidays, clothes, residences…..) bonuses for bankers, potholes and the best parties in Britain!!
He now waltzes off to guzzle, gorge, screw and gloat while making countless millions. Job done!
